Graham Construction has been selected to develop a new train station in Warwickshire.
The firm will begin building the new Kenilworth Rail Station on Priory Road this summer.
The project is part of Network Rail's programme to carry out significant infrastructure works in spring 2017, including construction of new track at Leamington Rail Station, signalling upgrades and the relaying of the track through Kenilworth.
A change to the schedule for the opening of Kenilworth Rail Station means this work will now be complete before passenger services start from the new station.
The project is being funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), Warwickshire County Council and Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) as part of the Growth Deal initiative.
Stuart Robertson, Contracts Director at Graham Construction, said: "I'm delighted that Graham Construction have been chosen to construct the station and we can now move into the next phase of delivering this project."
Cllr Philip Johnson said: "I'm very pleased that we have a building contractor in place and that Kenilworth residents will begin to see construction work on the site of their new rail station in the coming months. The station will be a real boost to the town and provide a much valued transport link to other parts of the region and beyond."
Construction will begin following detailed design work, with the station due to be completed in early 2017.
